| dc.description.abstract | Designer fashion boutique workers must embody idealised and branded fashionable femininity as they undertake intimate yet commercial body work to adorn customers’ bodies. Boutique work is hyper-feminised and seemingly glamorous women’s work. Yet it is also widely casualised employment with low labour market status. This feminist poststructural study addresses designer fashion boutique work and workers to theorise new dimensions of women’s disadvantage in contemporary work and career. My argument develops through analysing both the conditions and practices of women’s work within designer fashion boutiques, as well as the perceptions that boutique workers have of this work. | |
